January Haul

Since Christmas, I am addicted to watching haul videos on YouTube. The concept of an haul is to show what you've recently bought. (It's not about showing off!) And since I'm so curious and I love fashion and shopping -obviously- I love to watch what people have purchased.

So it inspired me to do an written haul of my January purchases (because, why not?)

ZARA

I bought this denim jacket that was 69,95$ reduced to 39,90$. Since mine been stolen I was in need of one because it's my go-to vest during spring and summer time and it's perfect with maxi dresses and skirts which I wear all the time!

I bought this raincoat 29,90$ (don't know the original price cause the price tag is missing) and I'm so glad I got it! It's a boyish cut but it fits really well. My cat approves!

I saw this faux fur vest online for the first time months ago but they did not had it at my Zara. So I waited because it was 99,95$. The small got away fast and I still thought about it often but during the sales I waked in Zara and there was one small reduced to 59,90$. You guessed how it ended. But I'm not regretting any bucks I put into it because the faux fur colours and spots are just perfect and different from anything you find on the market right now. Plus the quality's great!

GAP

My parents pretty much insisted that I get this one because it was reduced to 60,00$ instead of 179,95$. And I loved that the exterior is in jersey but it still is a warm duvet winter coat. Plus it long enough to cover my butt. YAAAAAAAAASSS!

I was watching this one online for so long now! The original price was 188,00$ and I got it for 80,00$. (It's real leather so it explains the price!) It's not the type of clothing I usually buy and I can't explain why I really wanted it. The picture is from their website because I'm still waiting for it!

TARGET

I'm really sad that Target is closing in Canada and the makeup section is probably the one I'm gonna miss the most! But I got this lip crayon in Gramercy Park Plum and this eye primer from NewYorkColor for 3,99$ each. (I'm probs going to review those products in a future article + some no heat curlers I got too)

BATH & BODY WORKS

Not into that store as much as the haul youtubers I watched but still, I am OBSESSED with polar bears and I found those cute slippers for 5,00$ instead of 16,00$ and the little sleep mask that was 50% off of 16,00$.

We already are in the second month of the year (still really cold tho) and I'm excited as we get closer to spring/summer! Can't wait until March, it's like my mental limit to winter! Since then I'm having a February wish list to help me motivate during cold winter nights.

Thank you so much for reading! Please recommend this if you liked it!

What's in my makeup bag? (travel edition)

I'm always overpacking when I travel because I'm telling myself "maybe I'll need this". It's accurate for clothes but also for makeup. Even that one eyeshadow I've never used seem to be necessary when I pack. Awkward right?

I have decided to show you exactly what's REALLY necessary and it might help me too when the time will come for me to pack! (win-win)!

I've separated items into 6 categories:

INSTRUMENTS

Brushes (foundation, powder, bronzer, eye shadow (2) & eyebrows);

Travel bottle set (shampoo, conditioner, pills & cream);

Clamp brow;

Eyelash curler;

Nail clipper;

Hair brush.

(all from Forever21 except the pink brush (Clinique) and the one in wood (Jean Coutu))

MAKEUP

Foundation;

Mattifying powder;

Blush;

Bronzer;

Eyebrow pencil;

Eyeliner;

Mascara;

Eye illuminator;

Eyeshadow palette(s);

Lipstick.

CARE PRODUCTS

Hydrating face cream

Sunscreen;

Aftersun;

Lip balm;

Body cream;

Hand cream;

Perfume.

HYGIENE

Toothbrush;

Toothpaste;
Dental floss;

Deodorant;

Shampoo (empty bootle);
Shower gel(empty bootle);

Makeup remover;

PHARMACY

Tylenols;

Band-Aids;

Q-tips.

ADDITIONAL

Nail polish;

Remover.

(I've pretend that this trip was in a city and that you have to put makeup on to go dinner!)

(Ask for samples of your favourites products when you buy them, the size is perfect for traveling!)

(Prioritize multitask products (blush that works as eyeshadow and lipstick too!))

Lord Mortdecai

I saw the movie «Mortdecai» yesterday and I loved it! All the critics are bad but it's usually a good sign for me! I hate pretentious critics that only likes authors movies, to me, if a movie is funny and entertaining it's worth it. Anyway, the characters have a awesome british preppy style and it inspired me so much!

I love preppy style so much (obviously)!

Here are some of the looks I found on Pinterest (follow me: Anne-Marie Pouliot)

I'm dying. Every single thing in this outfit is perfect.

Nudes + gold = classy.

Cliché but american preppy.

My go-to outfit (except for the tall boots & jeans instead of leather pants)

This coat is hot (and the pom pom too).

I have this vest and I wear it all the time.

& all Olivia Palermo's outfits (sigh).

Do you like preppy style?

Top Five

5. Christian Louboutin Bis Un Bout Heels

Everything is perfect about this shoe. It could of been a couple of other models from Louboutin, but all those red soles have the perfect heel shape.

www.theyallhateus.com

I would probably get the black ones but they are great even in neon.

4. Stella McCartney Falabella Bag

It's a bag that is vegan, you can wear 3 ways and it's light and comfy + so trendy, but still classic.

www.somethingnavy.com

Since I have a thing for all white outfit I might take those shoes too.

3. Chanel Espadrilles

I have an obsession for those lately! They seem so comfy and they would be perfect to travel. They do add OOMPH to any casual outfit.

www.theyallhateus.com

I would kill to have those bright emerald green espadrilles!

2. Chanel Le Boy Bag

Classy, works with everything, do I really need to justify this?

www.mesvoyagesaparis.com

It dresses anything. (sigh).

1. Hermès Birkin Bag

My biggest fashion dream ever. The most gorgeous bag that exist. I'm the kind of girl who needs large bags (I love the look of a clutch or a mini handbag but it's too small for everything) and this one would be just perfect. It's pretty in every colour, the shape is great and I could put anything in there!

www.socialbliss.com

I would definitely get it in a cooler colour like red, green or purple (but I'll have any one, anytime)!

What is THE fashion fantasy you want so badly?

Croissant tee

Hello there!

I was in Montreal for half a day this week and I had like an hour to shop. I only bought one thing (which is pretty rare when I shop on Ste-Catherine street) but I simply love it. As I wrote on instagram: I upgraded my tee game (pizza emoji).

Food clothes are the best.

The t-shirt is from forever 21.

Yellow

As I said in a previous post, my mind is in Miami, and it makes me wanna wear bold colours and fun summer prints. Instead, I'm wearing the warmest clothes I own for the coldest time of the year!

low and I'm pretty sure it's going to be one of the most popular shades this summer! Along with bright pink and cobalt blue.

Yellow is scary for a lot of people because it's not always flattering for the skin tone. Here are my top tips to wear it and own it! No excuses to not wear it. AWESOME.

1. Wear it during summer time when your skin is darker. Easy right?

2. Add it to your outfit with a accessory like shoes, jewelry or handbag . Shoes & handbags are nowhere near your face, so it does not make you look tired or sick (win/win).

3. You can wear yellow as a part of a print mixed of other colours.

4. Play it casual with denim.

5. OWN IT. yellow on yellow on yellow. (just find the good shade for you).

6. Wear it under the belt, again, nowhere near your pale winter skin.

Hope I'm going to see everybody wearing yellow this spring & summer!

All the pictures are from Pinterest (search yellow + street style)

Is it summer yet?

If you are like me, right after Christmas I'm already tired of winter. Snow makes holidays pretty and joyful but in January, I'm tired of it. My mind is already on summer and vacations (and spring/summer fashion).

I'm inspired by Miami right now. I would love to spend a couple of weeks there during winter (still hoping)! Here are some of my current inspiration and wishlist!
